          ok here is what to try

          cd /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/
          mv dapinput.ini dapinput.ini.bak

          do me a favour dont touch your joystick or controller. just start the emulator and use the keyboard 5 and 6 for credit 1 2 for controls for action and arrow keys.

          now start the emulator from emulation station and dont use the joystick just the keyboard

                      ok permissions are good case in files is good. Now only thing i can think of is your lair.commands has a silent switch been put on in it.

                      type
                      cat /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/lair.daphne/lair.commands

                      cat /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/lair.daphne/lair.commands
                      -nocrc -noissues -nolog -noserversend -latency 950 -x 640 -y 480 -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -bank 0 11111001 -bank 1 00100111

                            It seems to play in vlc, the ogg file was downloaded using a pc and the dvd i own. Where could i get a different ogg file?

                                  So i figured it out. Only one speaker was working on my monitor. All the daphne games will work with 1 speaker except lair. move beeps from one speaker and background music and sound from the other one. Thank's for every one's help.

                                    @dizmodawg here is your problem..sorry I didn't see this sooner..

                                    you must add the correct configuration to the game or you WILL have that problem. ( the background music for Badlands for example not playing.) I learned this setting up attract mode on my PC with the "default setup". Many games you'll have that problem. Here's how to fix it:

                                    1. create a file called dle21.commands in the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/dle21.daphne folder

                                    i.e. /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/dle21.daphne/dle21.commands

                                    • you can build it in nano or drop it via ssh

                                    • (I use the dle21 version because the dlair version will skip the drawbridge scene)

                                    1. paste the command below into the file:

                                    -blank_searches -min_seek_delay 1000 -seek_frames_per_ms 20 -bank 0 11111000 -bank 1 00110111 -noserversend -volume_vldp 64 -sound_buffer 960

                                    1. save it

                                    try it and let me know if that helps :D

                                    Here is my original post at the atractmode fourm here.

                                    People want things easy...but then complain that life is boring...

                                        @dizmodawg I would hesitate before using @akafox's commands suggestion above for Dragon's Lair DLE21, as the DIP switch settings are not good. They may work, but appear to be possibly borrowed from another ROM configuration. I am referring to these command line parameters: -bank 0 11111000 -bank 1 00110111Some of them may work, but right off the bat I can see that they disregard the Normal Operation setting which should have A3=ON and A7=ON. In the suggested string, A7=OFF and there is no corresponding mode for that combo. There are likely other oddities, such as audio disabled during startup/attract mode (no relation to the software by that name). Or, why is B7=ON set? That puts you into prototype mode. These DIP switches are erroneous as far as I can tell.

                                        You can see a nice reference to the DIP switch settings you can use here.

                                        Also, nothing you can do in the command line will prevent the audio from going to separate speakers as it does with this game. This is how the sound worked in the original cabinet. There are HD versions of the media that have the sounds mixed to both left and right channels, but that is different, and not controllable via command line.

                                        My 4-player cocktail style cabinet built as a custom "roadcase"

                                            @caver01 Strange I will look into that thank you. The command line I used there was directly from the daphne gui. But shrugs I will look into this further :)
